Blood

See what blood does and exactly what each condition changes — in interactive 3D with cells flowing through a vessel — then find care.

Conditions in this section

  • Iron-Deficiency Anemia — Too little iron means too little haemoglobin, so the blood carries less oxygen — extremely common and very treatable.
  • Thalassemia — An inherited fault in making haemoglobin, so red cells are fragile — preventable by screening, and now potentially curable.
  • Sickle Cell Disease — An inherited change makes red cells stiff and sickle-shaped, blocking blood flow — causing pain, but increasingly treatable.
  • Leukemia (Blood Cancer) — A cancer of the blood-forming cells, flooding the marrow with abnormal white cells — increasingly treatable and often curable.
  • Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders — An inherited shortage of a clotting factor means blood doesn’t clot properly, so bleeding lasts too long — now well managed.
  • Thrombosis (Blood Clots) — A blood clot forms inside a vein or artery and blocks flow — a common, preventable and treatable danger.
